My father had dementia at the end of his life. This song was written in response to him trying to keep his dignity while his memories faded. I love the demented electric guitar riffs from Jon Bendis. From my Caterwauling Towards the Light.

lyrics

Verse 1:
Between the do's-and-the-don'ts
And the might-have-beens
Between the I-hate-you's
And the no-one-wins
Our endless fights / shackle me
These mortal sins / well, they ain't free

I got lost today / I got lost today
I try to work / But it don't play

I got lost today / in my shades of gray

Verse 2:
Beyond all the colors / Beyond the haze
Beyond this world / Way beyond the grave
Can't sleep / And I don't feel
I run my motor / just to spin my wheels

I got lost today / I got lost today
I go to church / But I can't pray

I got lost today / in these shades of gray
I got lost today / in these shades of gray

solo

I go to church / But I can't pray

Outro::
I got lost today / in these shades of gray
I got lost today / in these shades of gray
